TEHRAN, April 2 (Xinhuanet) -- Iranian
Foreign Minister Kamal
Kharazi on Tuesday urged the Islamic countries
to reach consensus
on whether to use oil as a weapon, the official
IRNA news agency
reported.
Speaking on the sidelines
of the Organization of the Islamic
Conference (OIC) special session on
terrorism in Malaysia's Kuala
Lumpur, Kharazi was quoted as saying
that he believes "the Islamic
world has enough instruments to
use."
Reacting to Iraq's call on Monday on Arab states to
use oil as a
weapon to punish countries supporting Israel and to halt
the
Israeli aggressions against Palestinians, the Iranian minister
said
that "if they decide to use oil as a weapon, it would be very
effective."
The call could give rise to another soar
in oil prices, which
rose to their highest level in six months Monday
due to traders'
fears that tension in the Middle East could disrupt
supplies.
